Satisfying fish preparation processfrom @omaweii

[01]

Overview

A chef meticulously prepares a flatfish (Kawahagi) on a cutting board from an overhead perspective. They begin by cutting off the head and tail, gutting the fish, and then skillfully peeling off the skin from both sides. The chef then fillets the fish, separating the meat from the bone, removes the pin bones with tweezers, and finally slices the fillet into thin, sashimi-style pieces.
